James Franco Tears into Breaking Dawn: All About Sex!

The Twilight Saga is under fire once again.

A day after Star Trek actor George Takei called out the franchise for simply being "really, really bad," James Franco has penned a scathing critique of Breaking Dawn.

James Franco PhotographBreaking Dawn Wedding Night!

In a column for The Paris Review, the Oscar nominee takes this film to task for its reliance on nearly-underage sex, writing:

The protagonists finally marry, having waited until the wise old age of eighteen, and since the book and the film dutifully show them being wed, they are then allowed to f-ck each others’ brains out. For a film that claims to be sexually responsible, the Twilight movies are awfully dependent on teenage sex to attract viewers.

The actors prance about like pieces of meat, their disturbingly developed bodies on full display; Taylor Lautner’s rippling teenage chest is just a little better than the child beauty-pageant stars at the end of Little Miss Sunshine.

Ouch! What say you, Twihards? If you're looking for a comeback, remember: there's always Franco's hosting debacle at the 2011 Academy Awards.

    If you don't like the books or movies don't read them or watch them. Let the one's enjoy them without the rudeness.Who cares what James Franco thinks. If you enjoyed the books and movies then enjoy them. Hey at least we don't have to see James Franco in another Spider man movie.

    The Twilight Saga brought in a lot of money same money a kid could have used to buy a drug but instead decided to watch a movie.
    James Franco you might not understand this but Twilight could have actually saved a kid from becoming a drug addict!!!!!

    And besides I watched the movie. I never see any penis being flung around or any vagina's being stretched so where's the sex in a little darked out bed action. Get you fucked up facts straight before insulting the Saga again or you will pay the consequences by twihard fans just like how that weird chines guy is!!!!!

    @pak31 I've never seen the movies either, but I do understand the point your trying to make. The problem is teens learn all about sex from everywhere. If you try to shelter them a wonderful friend tells them everything they know. You keep the lines of communication open and cringe when they ask an inappropriate question at dinner. The bible hints to the many children and women as well. Please don't get me wrong when I say that. My point is either a movie, suggestive music or video's it is our job as parents to monitor what our kids do. Twilight does appeal to teens, but so does just about everything.
